Resume

Head of Product & AI @ Raven.ai May '25 - Current

Lead AI strategy and product direction while hands-on doing harness engineering — building the agents and the system they live in: databases, file and folder structure, memory, and the environment agents need to operate.

Shipped deterministic LLM workflows that automated the bulk of back-office ticket operations; work previously spread across three full-time roles is now handled by one person at half capacity. First agent with live feedback loops in production, second in development.

Stack: Claude SDK, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI, Ollama, open-source models; shipping in Node/TypeScript, Python/Django, and Elixir/Phoenix/Ash depending on the problem.

Agent and workflow leverage is part of why a team of under 20 now delivers more revenue than the prior org at 70+.
